Mark,

Kelly Troyer, sent some end = housings to Jeff=20 Chrysler of Creavey, to make absolutely sure of sizing. Jeff = promised me=20 that he would hold a record of the proper size for all Mazda = Rotary=20 requests.

The sizes ID by Jeff where as you = have=20 stated.for the oil seals - and Coolant seals are

PFA-Sil   0.093 section=20 11.190 inch ID

PFA-Sil   0.093=20 section   8.950 inch ID

Paul,

I'm sending this to you "private" so as not to confuse = everyone with=20 a bunch of dimensions that may, or may not, turn out to be = correct. =20 I spoke with Jeff today thinking that he would be able to verify = the=20 correct sizes and he doesn't have those dimensions.

Looking through my archives, I found an old email stating = that I=20 initially used the 11.340" dimension, but it turned out to be too = large=20 and I had to send it back to have it re-sized to 11.230" = which worked=20 perfectly (didn't require stretching) and laid in the groove = very=20 nicely.

<snip>

I found my receipt from = Creavy Seal=20 Co. Unfortunately, it is only for one coolant seal, and both = oil=20 seals.

As for the outer coolant = seal=85=20 Originally I ordered a set of SIL .093 =96 11.340 ID = o-rings. These=20 proved to be too big and I had to send them back. Note that = 11.340=20 minus .090 is 11.230=85 the correct size. I had given them a = size=20 based on CL, not ID. So, be sure you=92re on the same page = when=20 ordering these things. After a few emails to Jeff Chrysler, = we got=20 it right on the re-order with these numbers=85 SIL .093 =96 = 11.230.=20 These fit perfectly. I can find no records for what I = ordered on the=20 inner coolant seals. Here is an email I sent to Jeff = Chrysler at=20 Creavy Seal after fit-checking the new outer coolant = o-rings.

Attn: Jeff = Chrysler

Hi = Jeff,

The reworked TES = o-rings fit=20 perfect. Final dimension for the outer coolant o-rings is = .093 x=20 11.230" ID. Thank you so much for all your help. I can = start=20 putting my engine back together now. I have passed this = information=20 along to Paul Lamar as well. This size should work for all = 13B and=20 20B engines, but you may want to verify size before using it for = the new=20 Renesis engines.

Thanks again for = your=20 assistance,

Mark = Steitle

The information for the two = oil seals=20 are SIL .093 =96 4.680 ID, and SIL .118 =96 4.330 ID.

Using your example of how to measure and calculate the = coolant=20 o-ring dimensions, I ran the numbers and came up with 11.182" for = the=20 outer coolant o-ring. Based on this info, I order based on = the=20 11.230" dimension for the outer o-ring. I'll let you know = how it=20 works out.

All of the other dims agree with my numbers.

Thanks,
